In f'ing real..I hope a lot of their alums are pissed enough to pull donations over this.

Only thing that would stop it would be the threatened loss of lots of $$.

Sounds like this decision emanated from the campus clergy, spokesperson was Christy Lohr Sapp. The more I read, the more apparent it became the clergy live in an academic bubble...not cognizant of the absurd inappropriateness of this action.
I'll wager the clergy will vociferously defend their action...all the way to the unemployment office.

We are a "Christian nation" remember. Only Christians are being persecuted. The destiny of this country is to obviously become a theocracy where anyone who dares believes other religions can be executed in the streets!

The basketball team is riding a 2 game losing streak with the 41 game home streak ending last night. Seems a bit extreme, but it can't hurt, I reckon.

What would be the problem with doing this? I assume the bells ring at a church or chapel on site just before a church service or a Mass, correct? Again, what's the problem with doing this?

There is no problem, at least if you're a rational person.
Tman, our country was founded on religious freedom (don't confuse that with religious tolerance). Why do you hate the 1st Amendment of our Constitution?
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

That's right. We're a Christian nation because we were founded by Christians. Straw man argument with no basis in fact.

I don't have a problem with it. But if I were a student, I might object to the crack of dawn hollering going on.

Actually that I can agree with - as long as it doesn't single out a specific religion, banning bell sounding before a certain hour (and after a certain hour) is perfectly permissible and fine. Besides, I'm sure there's an app people can get for those early or late hours when bell ringing is stopped.

Equal Opportunity Religious Expression. It's what makes America great.

Just a temporary distraction from the butt-whupping that Miami administered to Coach K's boys last night.

Yet violent oppression of pro-life demonstrators is acceptable?
Hypocrites.

We are a scientific nation because we were founded by scientists (founding fathers, especially Jefferson, Washington, Franklin were big into science), but we have turned into a nation of anti-science.

At the bottom of the page the ad is for, "Muslina.com", and international Muslin Matrimony site.
The chicks aren't the hottest.
Edit Whoa! Suddenly, it changed to a site for meeting Russian women. Vidav must have joined the thread...much better selection from the limited pics. Good job, Vidav, save us from the veiled hoard.
